:That's quite a strong accusation. Do you have a specific edit in mind? Discrediting valuable contributors is the desperate's tactic. [[User:SilvioB|SilvioB]] 19:54, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

::Pretty much this entire page... I mean come on, trying to block atheists? Suggesting atheists and liberals have a mental illness? Even if Bugler somehow does believe this to be true, putting such views up here is damaging to the credibility of the rest of us. We are Christians, and our duty is to reach out to atheists and agnostics, not to lock the doors. [[User:MikeR|MikeR]] 07:48, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

:::The theoretical basis of one school of psychology ([[rational-emotive therapy]]) is that incorrect thinking is the primary cause of [[mental illness]]. Being skeptical about God's existence is not irrational, but positively asserting His non-existence usually is.
:::In reaching out to evil people we cannot avoid pointing out there errors. We can be polite while doing so, but it is hardly polite to pay lip service to a fiction. When [[Rev. Moon]] visited [[Gorbachev]] (and also [[Kim Il-Sung]]), he was obviously well-mannered and had many proposals to benefit the USSR and North Korea - but he quite plainly told the respective leaders that they were wrong to exalt atheism and socialism.
:::The notion that evil can develop into good somehow, without being corrected in its errors, has done far too much harm in history. Let's not perpetuate that notion here. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 07:55, 21 August 2008 (EDT)
